Make your purchase count: The Heart For Africa traveler’s notebooks will continue to be available throughout October, with sales helping to fund a November mission to Uganda. Get it while you can! We'll switch to a new country and new project in November. (If you've been paying attention on Instagram, you've already seen a sneak peek of the next #BorderCrossingsTN project!)

Next week: While today's update is on the slim side, you can look forward to a nice big giveaway coming soon (watch for details on Instagram in the next few days or so), a postcard project, and a flash sale to kick off the Christmas shopping season. Can't you already hear the jingle bells?
